The sun is shining and a breeze is blowing. Morning bike ride time. Yahoo, this is summer!
I have my LEND interview today and Julia is in a great mood. I have to wonder whether it is the ending of school or her new med -- we started her on 10 mg of prozac last Friday.
We requested a "long" appt. with Valerie's doctor and finally had it today. We talked in great detail with him without Valerie and then he talked to her for awhile without us. (The doc she's had her entire life.) The end result was Cymbalta for anxiety and depression.
Oh, Suzanne, it's so hard to give them medicine, isn't it? I practically pleaded with him to tell me how I could make things better with my parenting. I've never seen such a sweet look from him; he was truly compassionate towards me.
Praying that Julia and Valerie both are positively impacted by their doctor's/parent's decisions.
I hope the Cymbalta helps Valerie. I know. I too was willing to try anything short of meds, but the stimulant has helped Julia a lot. I don't want her drug dependent for her life. I too pray that Julia and Valerie move forward with joy because of these decisions.
